181. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs:
City in the Sea (1993). No. 5 in
a set of 7 C&D buttons.

Known in earlier times as New York City,
rising ocean levels during the Xenozoic period have turned the
once-teeming metropolis into a Venice-like city, with deep waterways
replacing streets. The surviving skyscrapers form "The
City in the Sea." The tribe inhabiting this city is
headed by "Cadillac" Jack Tenrec (see button
#179). In 2001 director Steven Spielberg shamelessly stole
both Mark Schultz's name "City in the Sea" and
its visual concept in his film A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).
Mark didn't sue, but he should have.

This button series, designed by Ray
Fehrenbach, was among the items (including boxed candy bars)
created by Kitchen Sink Press itself shortly before it ended
its Wisconsin phase, moved to Massachusetts and merged with Tundra
Publishing.

1.25 inch diameter. $3.00

One note, for serious button collectors,
you may want to read the KSP
BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for
identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,
or see the COMPLETE
KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient
while it loads.
